About Manny

We are pleased to announce that Manny was adopted on Aug. 8, 2023
Sweet and shy Manny was adopted a few weeks ago, and has been settling in great in his new forever home! Complete with two doggie siblings to help build his confidence, Manny is already feeling at home with his new family, who are committed to helping him blossom into the confident and playful dog that he can be! Manny couldn't have found a better fit and we're thrilled for him!
I am in a foster home but I am still AVAILABLE for adoption!

Hey there, I'm Manny! I arrived to the BVSPCA after being found stray, and sadly nobody came to claim me. I can be timid (who can blame me, it's a confusing period of my life), but I have a kind, gentle soul, and just need to build some confidence once I realize I am safe. I am a very sweet boy, and still young and very trainable. I think I'd like a quieter home for now where I can settle in, and then my true colours will shine! I am a very loving boy, and even though I am scared, I will lean right into the people I trust for a head scratch. While loud, exuberant dogs can overwhelm me, I would really love to go to a home with a calm, confident resident canine, as I reference my canine foster-sister to judge whether a situation is safe or not. Having a stable, well-adjusted dog to help me feel safe will make an adjustment to a new home much easier. I'd prefer a home without young kids for now, because I startle very easily with any loud noises or sudden movements. Speaking of, I am a flight risk right now, and will try to bolt on walks if I hear a big scary noise or see something that scares me. I'm also quite crafty at slipping out of a harness, so my new owners will need to be prepared to work to earn my trust before working up leashed walks in busy public settings. A secure backyard with a tall, escape-proof fence would be great for the first bit while I settle in. Off-leash settings won't be safe for me right away, and my new adopters should be aware that I may always be a flight risk. I will definitely need to bond with my new people, take lots of time to decompress, and learn that I am safe before trying an off-leash setting. Unfortunately, I am not well suited to apartment living. In an environment I feel safe, I am affectionate and my full-body wiggles will tell you I'm feeling safe! I can't wait to be in a stable and loving home that can help me to become the best version of myself!
